An official Russian passenger aircraft carrying journalists to cover the APEC summit in Peru was chased by three military jets while flying through Swiss airspace.

Meryl Streep must be a very intelligent woman to be such a good actress. So it was embarrassing to see her dressed in an American flag playing cheer leader for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic Convention.
